How does the room in which a picture is hung demonstrate respect or disrespect? I've known a lot of artists. My grandmother was a painter. My mother made stained glass, and worked on her MFA (Master of Fine Arts) when I was in my late teens, finished when I was in my early 20's. I used to visit the homes of art professors. I lived next door to an art professor, and used to go to parties there. I dated, and lived with, a professional photographer. We went to parties at the homes of artists regularly. My best friend's boyfriend was a professional artist. Kerrie, my father's third wife, had a first cousin who owns an art gallery in New Orleans, and we socialized with them. So I can tell you from experience that artists put art *everywhere* in their houses, bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, halls. For artists, art isn't something to respect, it's something to enjoy. |
